Well done. Exactly what (well, not as well articulated) has been the response of the Jewish part of my family (all on the left) as well as myself. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I will discuss with a wider audience with this as a guide.

I agree with everything you have said here. Israel has been horrible in the way they have dealt with the Palestinians. Gaza is one of the most over-populated and poorest communities on the planet with almost half of them children, with 90% unemployment. But what Hamas is doing is even more horrible. And I'm afraid that what's going on will only strengthen Netanyahu's hold on power.
